Description

Bouncing Isaac is an Android Experiment that uses the built-in sensors on your watch to display playful, interactive, geometric patterns and colors that change throughout the day. The more you move your watch, the more the color patterns and forms emerge. The background color changes every hour throughout the day, and the triangles are based on a sliding spectrum of highly saturated colors. The colors overlap one another as the leading point of the triangle hits one of the walls of your watch face.

The watch design pays tribute to Isaac Newton’s laws of motion and his experiments using a prism to refract white light to create a spectrum of color. Bouncing Isaac is a simple watch face that showcases the wonder of light and physics.

My review

Review from Kevin Kaufman

Kevin Kaufman

This is an amazing watch face. My favorite that I use all the time. The live wallpaper style on a smart watch is very cool and the way the designs change, based on the angle of the watch is beyond other watch faces I've seen. This one is worth the download!

My go to watch face I love the use of colour and ever-changing design. It also has everything I need on both the sleeping and active faces (date and time). I've tried so many watch faces but always come back to this one. Using on my Huawei watch

Such a fun watch face. Instead of trying to cram every bit of info into a watch face, this creates art on your wrist. I love that it's moving and constantly changing. I also haven't noticed any battery hit using this watch face. Bravo Devs!

Moto 360 2 I really like this face, but the default speed was really distracting after a while. A slow/medium/fast setting or a slider would win me back for sure.

I only wish the colours could be limited to a specific range or contrast for example, and that while I appreciate the face responds to external speed and light, if the face can be locked at a set speed and draw all over the face regardless of movement as mine can tend to dwindle in the bottom of the watch face and doesn't really seem to respond to my movements at all when drawing the design on.

Love it, but can be improved Design is really cool and Androis-like. It just really needs the date under the the time. I could also request things like step counter, etc, but this face deserves to be kept simple and beautiful. But it NEEDS the date. Please!

We don't have any control over what the Android Wear app does, so we're frustrated by this as well. We compiled the latest version using the latest Android 6 libraries, which shouldn't be necessary, but appears to help this problem. Give it a shot.

Great Great design but would also like a date option that displays below the time

Access to my files? This is a watch face, unless it specifically can display my pictures (etc) there's no reason you need access to my files or identity. Shame, looks like it would have been a great watch face.

That's because of the Google Play Support Library, which adds several permissions. We're looking into whether we can remove them.
In the meantime, the full source code is linked from the description so you can see every last nefarious and evil thing that we're doing with your files and identity.
[update] We've removed the library—all set!

What's New

Now includes the date! And 24-hour time! Plus a few other tweaks for Android 6 compatibility and we've removed the Google Play Services library so no more ridiculous permissions requests.
